LFS Development Discussion

[AOR Nova]

+1.
Plus the fact he stands his ground and is resisting feedback on what should be done and what not. The community is always irked by this to the extent we don't care anymore, because he's very stubborn, of sorts. Everyone would rather a new track, car, or even part of a track to be updated, rather than some shadows, colors and a bush in a graphical update, but he seems adamant to complete >something< even if people want >something else<.
The first step in a company,project, restaurant, store, or creating a game like LFS, is to listen to feedback by your own target market and your intended users, which is us, drivers and racers. To understand the needs, to understand the purpose and satisfy the wants. If you don't, the project won't explode into glory, but instead crawl along slowly. Which LFS is technically doing right now.

Prioritising in the dev's minds seem to be at an all time low, to a point where, even if it's true that Scawen does it at his own pace due to LFS being a personal project - it's stupidily slow.

We speculate because there's not much else to do or talk about with LFS. "Eh, what's new about this game now, when I got recommended by Joe in 2007?", "Oh nothing much... 1 track... 1 updated track... eh, new bushes, that's it".

"Oh."

The entire situation has reached dimensions that any word does sound sarcastic. But frankly, that is Scawen's fault. He is persistently after things, nobody from the community ever asked for. Sure, graphic updates would be a nice thing, but there are probably a thousand other things above on that list. And even if, graphic updates don't take years. I believe he lives in some bubble that isolates him from anything and anyone around him. I mean he probably never played any other game and has no idea how games are made nowadays. Otherwise, the situation wouldn't be as stuck as it is for years.
